to close the present year with a new debt which can be avoided with a reasonable self-denial on the part of the nearly 600,000 members of our churches. THE GENERAL O. O. HOWARD ROLL OF HONOR Previously reported Total number of shares.. 444 96 540 [An occasional question from some subscriber to the General Howard Roll of Honor leads us to remind that helpful brotherhood of a privilege of which comparatively few of them have as yet availed themselves-that of naming Life Members of this Society. Every hundred dollars sent to this treasury on account of the Roll entitles the donor— individual or church-to name two Life Members, and these are entitled to vote at the annual meetings of the Society; also, on request, to receive, during life, without further payment if desired, The Home Missionary and our other publications.—ED.] WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY, FIRST CHURCH, Montclair, SOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, Brooklyn, N.
